Losing the Thread

About This Movie

Losing the Thread is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the psyche of Lorenzo, a Florentine artist obsessed with one singular creation for over two decades. The film’s tone is contemplative, almost meditative, capturing the slow, repetitive nature of his work with a kind of quiet intensity. It's not flashy or dramatic, which I find refreshing; it really gets under your skin. The pacing, though slow, allows the audience to appreciate the meticulous detail that goes into each thread, each stroke of paint. Themes of obsession and the passage of time resonate throughout. There’s something uniquely compelling about watching an artist grapple with the same piece, almost as if he’s in a dialogue with himself. Not your typical doc, but that's what sets it apart.
